What Readers Are Saying
I bought Michael’s book and was impressed by his story. I am his sister and have witnessed his life and struggles along the way. MS has truly impacted his entire life. Yet, he has made the best of every day and never complains. This book was his dream come true, and his wife supported and helped see it through publishing. I have used this book to combine family and friend schedules to plan trips. I have used it to help plan flower and vegetable gardening tasks. For now, I am using it as a helpful guide for planning events in the future. If you are a visual person like me, you will love Life’s Calendar by Michael Goodman.

Good information on simplifying a goal-oriented life and reducing associated stress and chaos. My favorite part was probably the trials and tribulations of the author’s life and how to deal with them.
— Dr. William Shaffner (Surgeon)
The author’s life story is compelling.

Life’s Calendar by Michael Goodman is a great resource for keeping track of one’s life, goals, challenges, and accomplishments. I love using it to organize my thoughts, big goals for the year, as well as record big milestones. The simple layout of the To-Do’s and the 12-month calendar for the year helps to visualize the year ahead and puts into perspective how precious each year is, filled with unique experiences, goals, and life events.
It is easy to use and a great way to end up with an autobiography in one central place.

Life’s Calendar – You Decide How It Turns Out
Preview Life’s Calendar
Excerpt Taken From The Preface
Life’s Calendar is for parents and their children. The parents are to lead a young person to have a great life. These are strategies that will help a family do well with this fantastic part of life of raising a child. I believe it is the parent’s job to help a child develop into a strong person in their life.
Along the way of my search, I realized the best way to help my nephew was to help him realize that his life was really a lifetime to do good. He gets to decide how to spend the time that he had been given in his new life.
We all need a calendar when we are in our desks to manage a day, a week, or even a month. Whether our calendars are on our wall at work or at home, whether it was on the wall in a first-grade classroom or a tiny pocket electronic device, this is how we’ve been taught to organize our time.
Serendipitously, I realized that my non-see-through skin should look at his whole life. It should be calendared for a hundred years for his Kenzon Kofeho life. This would be a good way for him to separate his life by decades, which was what I decided he was suited to do. I’d made the decades the life of different rolls.
Too, it would be very helpful to him when differentiating between these different parts of his life from zero to two through his younger years. Even to the twenty-one words of Kenzon through school and sports, then his twenties would be to finish school and start his direction in career and goals, so he would choose how to live his life.
The process of putting this hundred-year calendar for Bastion’s life that the architects had two years later, it seemed perfect to use that blank page of the previous year for the next year’s 100 blank perfect-year calendar chart.
Thus, Life’s Calendar was not meant to be like a day-to-day calendar, but all this helped him with his Life’s Calendar. This was his big-picture place where he would decide what relationships he would develop and the locations and events that were important to his future.
Everything was his life.
For now, it was up to him to decide how it went. He would look together in his first decade of life to record in this Life’s Calendar the things that were important to him, showed promise to his future leadership, and the things that he wanted in his life.
Life’s Calendar would be a tool that he wrote himself on his own. He will enter all their life happenings, relationships, and accomplishments with what Life’s Calendar contains and effectively develops.
Throughout the years, it is to be discovered that when they went and experienced the parts of life that they have added, that they too can do some bigger planning for a longer-term type of thing. Like it says on the cover, “You decide how it turns out.” Life’s Calendar has many tools that can be used along the way in life.
